WORK-STAND.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 6, 1920.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL VILLIAM Ynx'rs, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Monrovia, in the county of Los Angeles and State ofCalifornia, have invented a new and useful Vork-Stand, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has relation to work-stands of the type or characteradapted to hold things connected with domestic sewing, and provides animproved construction of stand with a pin-cushion and holders in combination with a rotary tray carried by a central standard.

The objects of my invention are to hold and to carry in convenientarrangement, certain of the several. articles required in domesticsewing and repair work, sothat the articles may be readily found whenneeded,

and to provide a standard for the articles which shall be ornamental incharacter.

I attain these objects by my improved work-stand, an embodiment of whichis shown in perspective in the accompanying drawing.

Referring to the drawing, the standard 1 is supported upon a heavy base2, the upper end of the standard terminating in a platform 3, whichcarries the pin-cushion 4. The standard has centrally disposed thereon,the rotary tray 5, carryingupon its outer edge the hooks 6, upon whichmay be hung shears and other articles.

Upwardly extending shaft members 7 are arranged to carry spools ofthread and members S are arranged for thimbles. The radial partitionwalls 9, extending from the central sleeve 10 of the tray, to thecircular wall 11, are designed as receptacles for buttons and similararticles. The tray further provided with swing-boxes 19, which are hungon the pivots 13. The cushion 14; is arranged particularly for needles,and the hooks 15 may be employed to carry various articles.

From the foregoing it may be seen that I have provided a neat and simpledevice of ornamental character, which is well adapted to serve thepurpose for which it is intended, but I do not desire to limit theinvention to the precise construction exhibited in the drawings, myinvention consisting essen tially of a supporting standard with arevoluble tray or platform disposed centrally thereon and adapted tocarry various articles for use in domestic sewing, and a cushionat thetop of the standard to receive and hold pins.

What is claimed is:

The combination With a standard, a heavy base supporting the standard,and a cushion at the top of the standard, of a revoluble tray membercentrally disposed on the standard, a circular wall extending upwardlyfrom the tray member, a sleeve concentric with the standard and forminga hub for the revoluble member, radial partition members extendingbetween the sleeve and circular wall and forming a series of receptacles, a plurality of carriers and spoolholding pins projectingupward from the revoluble member and disposed between the circular walland the periphery of the revoluble member, swing draw boxes mountedbeneath the revoluble member, and a series of suspension hooksprojecting radially from the periphery of the revoluble member anddisposed alternately between the swing draw boxes.

In testimony whereof, I hereto aflix my signature, this 25th day ofMarch, in the year 1916.
